What happened in Missoula, Montana this week shows exactly why we cannot afford to ignore local government.
On May 13, 2025, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 819, restricting flags on government buildings to official US, state, or city flags only.
But Missoula found a creative workaround: On June 3rd, their city council voted 9-2 to declare the pride flag as the official city flag.
They literally changed their city flag to circumvent state law.
The Emotional Manipulation
The tactics used to justify this move were predictable. Speaker after speaker claimed "people will die" without these flags on government buildings. Even more troubling, they paraded a child who appeared to be 8-10 years old to make the same emotional plea.
This isn't about inclusion - we already have an American flag representing equal treatment under law. This is about asserting dominance and control.
The Voice of Reason
One mother spoke against the resolution, noting that the pride flag actually excludes many community groups. As the mother of a U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot, she asked: What about Jewish Americans facing antisemitism? What about Muslim Americans whose beliefs conflict with what the pride flag represents?
Government should represent everyone, not just activist groups.
We're seeing this across America: blue cities in red states, activist-dominated councils, systematic efforts to undermine state legislation, and coordinated turnout at local meetings.

What happened in Missoula is a wake-up call. While we focus on national politics, the left is systematically taking over local government to undermine conservative victories.
We can't afford to stay home anymore.
